A {{name}} is a [[Zone tier|tier]] 5 creature belonging to the [[oozes]] faction, and is typically found deep underground. | |||
Gelatinous prisms attack by moving close to their target and engulfing them when the prism is within an adjacent tile. While engulfing a target, the prism will inhabit the same tile as the creature they are engulfing, and will remain completely stationary.{{Code Reference||class=EngulfingSedentary}} Creatures who are being engulfed by a gelatinous prism cannot be attacked by other creatures, and attempting to do so will instead damage the gelatinous prism itself. | |||
Creatures being engulfed by the gelatinous prism will be unable to move; attempting to move will instead perform a melee attack against the prism. Additionally, actions or abilities that cause the user to move, such as [[Charge]], [[Juke]], and [[Jump]], cannot be used.{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Effects.Engulfed}} The creature will take 3-7 damage every round while being engulfed.{{Code Reference|class=XRL.World.Parts.EngulfingDamage}}<ref name="Object"><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref> | |||
The gelatinous prism will continue to engulf its target until either it or its target dies. A creature can also escape being engulfed by [[Teleportation|teleporting]], being displaced, such as by a {{favilink|displacer bracelet}}, or becoming [[Phase#Out-Of-Phase|out-of-phase]]. | |||
== Cloning == | |||
When a gelatinous prism engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10<ref name="Object"/>and decrements by 1 every round. When the timer reaches 0, the prism will "refract" the creature it is engulfing, creating a perfect copy of them in a random adjacent tile. This will fail if the gelatinous prism is being affected by [[normality]]. The clone produced will be aligned with [[highly entropic beings]], will be colored {{qud text|&Ywhite}}, will be named "Refracted [creature name]", and will be hostile to the original creature.{{Code Reference|class=EngulfingClones}}{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=EvilTwin}} However, they will refrain from attempting to attack the creature until they are no longer engulfed. | |||
After the prism has created a clone, its timer will reset and the cycle will repeat. There is technically no limit to how many clones the prism can create; however, it will not be able to produce any more if it is surrounded on all sides by walls or creatures (including existing clones). | |||
